Senior setter Lily Vera (Anderson, S.C. / Stone Bridge HS)
recorded her third career double-double with 49 assists and 12 digs to help
Charlotte win its first home volleyball match of the season 3-1 (26-24, 25-11,
21-25, 25-20) over visiting UNC Asheville on day two of the Hilton University
49er Invitational. The 49ers improve the season record to 8-3, dropping the
Bulldogs to 4-11.

Vera's first double-double came back in her freshman season
of 2009, when she had 45 assists and 13 digs at High Point, recording another earlier this season against Gardner-Webb in five sets. She steadied
Charlotte after a slow third set and disheveled start to the fourth.

The Niners and Bulldogs played to 12 ties and five lead
changes in the first, with Charlotte needing an extra point to capture the win.
Freshman Mireya Braxton (Charlotte, N.C./ Providence HS) had the hot hand in
the opening frame, with five kills on nine attempts with no errors to lead the
Niners in kills in the opening-set win.

Charlotte started out to a 5-0 run to open the second and
was never threatened in the lopsided set. The Niners forced 10 Asheville errors
and sided out the Bulldogs on 90% of their serves in the frame.

The third set was mostly Charlotte early on, but a pair of
3-0 runs near the midway point and a 5-0 run to end the frame gave Asheville
its first set victory of the weekend.

Down 7-1 to start the fourth set, Charlotte rallied back
with a pair of 5-0 runs to overtake the Bulldogs and win going away.

Senior Bianca Rouse (Columbia, S.C. / Keenan HS) led all
players with 16 kills. She jumped two spots to tenth on Charlotte's all-time
career kills list in the match, one ahead of Cori Dayton (2004-07.) The list starts
to separate at this point, as she is 46 behind Jessica Oldenburg (2003-06) for
ninth place.
